About

Christian
Hardware

Christian 'Moschus' Moos, Mix Engineer:

"I've been sitting at the controls as a pro for over 25 years, I'm a drummer and have produced or mixed 150+ albums of many bands, for example for Delain, Haken, Mentalist, Luca Turilli's Rhapsody or Betontod."

Besides current software, a collection of excellent analog tools is involved in every mix, e.g. UREI 1178, SSL Bus Compressor, Klark Teknik as well as various SPL devices. Classic 19-inch Lexicon reverbs and a Kemper Profiling Amp  are also in use.

Music is my passion,

so I made it my profession.

Mixing

Mixing, Mastering

- Analogue summing. High-End 19-inch outboard. -

You send me all your finished single tracks and I take care for all the rest. All tracks should be without effects, ideally clean DI guitars and basses in addition to real acoustic drums, so I can re-amp with optimal results if needed. How everything should be prepared for a mix, you can find here:

Editing

Spatial Audio

- Take your sound to the next level! -

Spatial Audio or 3D Audio is extremely featured especially on Apple Music, and also works on headphones! Amazon, Tidal and others are also pushing the new format, which is supposed to be the successor of stereo. Spacelab therefore offers you optional 3D mixes in addition to the standard stereo mix, which are mixed on a real 7.1.4 speaker system. Atmos versions can also be created from delivered stems of already existing songs.

Recording

Vocal recording/editing

Although I am now very specialized in mixing and mastering, you can record vocals here in the Mix Studio if necessary, for example via a Brauner Phanthera or an ELA M 251E tube microphone (clone), followed by Glockenklang Bugatti Class A MicPre, original UREI 1178 peak limiter as well as SPL de-esser. Vocal tracks can also be post-edited at any time via Melodyne.

Re-amping

Re-amping

In 2023, "re-amping" is the order of the day. Unless you can deliver guitar or bass sounds in official quality, I re-amp all your clean DI tracks. In addition to the Kemper Profiler Amp, I also use Amp Sims from Neural DSP, PlugIn Alliance, Aurora DSP or NI.

- Studio recording -

Solo artists can record vocals or smaller acoustic instruments in my mix studio, using real top equipment. For example vocals via a Brauner Phanthera or an ELA M 251 E tube microphone (clone), followed by Glockenklang Bugatti Class A MicPre, original UREI 1178 peak limiter and SPL de-esser.

Alternative Steinberg VST connect: by means of this software (free of charge for you) my DAW computer in the studio can be coupled with your PC/Mac at home, and you make vocal recordings in your familiar environment, but with producer support! Prerequisite on your side (besides a reasonably fast internet connection) is at least a usable microphone, as well as audio interface and headphones.

- Studio recordings -

Drum recordings are often outsourced to a studio by many self-producing bands due to lack of space and/or technology.

For such cases, a comfortable studio can be rented nearby, where excellent drum recordings - and much more - can be made. Example: Caravan Recording, Krefeld, Germany.


By the way, I am also available as a session drummer for selected projects. On Spacelab's Youtube channel you can find several videos like this one:

Analogue rules. If you want to digitize old 2-inch tapes from your archive, no problem! They have to be 16- or 24-track tapes running at 15 or 30 ips. I also take care of the necessary "tape baking" in advance. I have already digitized 40 year old tapes (e.g. Grobschnitt "Solar Music", or various archive material from fellow producer Dan Swanö). My AMPEX MM1200 2-inch machine (built 1979, USA) was retrofitted with ball-bearing rolling guides, which makes it possible to play back very old tapes very gently. In 2015 the machine was last overhauled (among other things re-capped).

LT RHAPSODY COVER

Since 1998 I have produced 150+ albums of all kinds of bands, at that time still in my former "Spacelab" recording studio. The vast majority of them were produced completely by me, some only mixed, for still others I did various recordings.

One of the most famous acts that visited me several times was the Dutch female fronted metal band DELAIN. Besides doing various recordings for their early albums, I also mixed all live tracks of all Delain bonus CDs up to and including "The Human Contradiction".

The first two albums of the now quite famous British prog rockers HAKEN ("Aquarius" 2010 and "Visions" 2011) got the finishing touches here, as did their video on the ProgPower USA 2011 DVD. 

German Punk greats like BETONTOD, BRDigung or MASSENDEFEKT have produced many of their albums in full at Spacelab Studio.

In 2016 Luca Turilli had 30+ live tracks of the completed RHAPSODY tour completely mixed at Spacelab, and also the worldwide known Dutch death metal legend PESTILENCE had 2 albums produced at my studio.

Absolutely must also be mentioned guitar wizard Dennis Hormes from Germany, who produced his first solo album here.


Since 2018 I mix under the pseudonym SPACELAB MIXING SERVICE almost exclusively material that musicians have produced themselves.

All files are exchanged online. For example via WeTransfer or via the SPACELAB sftp server. How your files should be prepared is explained here: 


During the mix phase, a mix will be made available as a 320kB mp3 file (Atmos mixes as mp4). After completion and payment, the final 24 and 16 bit wav files and the DDP will also be made available for download (Atmos mixes as ADM-file).

Basically you get every mix also as an unprocessed, unmastered 24 bit stereo wav file (fullmix).

I also deliver "stems" on request, the additional time needed for this will be charged separately.

If you wish, I can organize an optional high-end mastering with well-known mastering professionals. There, however, you should expect costs starting at €80,- for the single title. It is generally not advisable to use "non-reproducible-cheap" providers or "AI-supported mastering".


The check of your audio files is free of charge and without obligation.

A discounted test mix is negotiable!

I am available for Skype or Zoom sessions to discuss your project in detail and to get to know you and your ideas.
